Help the Kenyan Tea Farmer through Justea.com

Kenya is proudly the largest exporter of black tea, however, nearly 500,000 small scale tea farmers are trapped in a cycle of debt and poverty.

These farmers are forced to sell their raw tea leaves for low prices to central processing factories. The tea then goes through many hands until it ends in your cups. Of the price the consumer pay, only 1 percent of that money goes back to the farmer.
